Question:<\/h2>\n

I want to thank you for your web site and the fact you post articles and letters of everyday problems Christians may face that almost no one talks about. Often I search for help in responding to one of my readers concerning a private problem and most of the time I can’t find brethren who write (or post) on relevant topics I have to deal with on my site. Unfortunately, I have discovered Christian families go through the same problems the world does (abuse, immorality, and unspeakable sins). While articles on doctrine, Christ and His church need<\/u><\/strong> to continue, and I’m glad they exist,\u00a0I do wish there were more articles on Christians’ everyday problems; the world has crept into Christian homes and sin, sickness, and grief need to be addressed.<\/p>\n

I just read the article on\u00a0the daughter who is homosexual<\/a>\u00a0and I appreciate the advice for the mother to take a firm stand – exactly what is needed.<\/p>\n

with appreciation,<\/p>\n

Answer:<\/h2>\n

Pat is one of the editors of\u00a0Our Hope Online<\/a>. It is an excellent resource, which I frequently recommend.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
